TUTORIAL

Rnd 1: Beginning with a slip stitch chain 30. Join the ends.Now here the length of the chain vary greatly and depend completely on the width of your hand. If you have big hands then chain of 30 wont be ideal for you.

How to make a "Song Stack" using Contact Paper

Hey there. I'm sorry for not posting for a long time. I have a reason; Exams. Yes i had some exams which are postponed as of now. Anyways we never say no to crafts and today's craft is a lovely song stack for someone who is loved :)

Now What is a Song Stack?

Its simply my favorite song written along with funny cartoons to add a little bit of cuteness. Follow the steps and you will know what i mean.

YOU WILL REQUIRE:

Regular pencil

Black gel pen

Pencil colors

Contact papers

Metal ring 

Craft paper

Craft scissor

A box of contact papers.
I bought this from departmental store.
Rest of the things used are from Stationery shop.

CHOOSE A SONG:

My choice was a COUNT ON ME by BRUNO MARS.

START:

Trick: If you are not good at drawing cartoons on your or you don't have enough time like me you can use the animations of the video as I did.

Making a song lyrics cartoons on contact paper.
I've completed my first stanza here.

Each frame of video is to be drawn on a separate contact paper.

Out line with gel pen.

Add colors, that's easy and fun thing to do. While I was doing this I felt like I was coloring a sketch book for kids.

Yay! My song is complete.

When done cut a Craft paper with a Craft scissor about the same size of the contact paper.

My contact paper had a hole at top left corner so I didn't need to punch it.

I inserted metal ring thorough it to secure all the sheets.

Stack them, Ring them.

It looks Pretty and colorful. Isn't it

Its done, Its like a flip book.

Its cute and lovable.

A pretty handmade gift for anyone.

Add Craft Paper.
